During my PhD program at the University of Minnesota I received comprehensive training in talk therapies and completed extensive training experiences in individual and couples counseling, crisis counseling, college counseling, career counseling, and industrial/organizational counseling.

Over the 10+ years since that time I have trained in newer talk therapies, clinical hypnosis, EMDR, and mindfulness. I have taught at the U of MN and the College of St. Catherine, completed a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do and have a regular sitting meditation practice.

Through these experiences I have become intimately familiar with the relationship between mind and body and often suggest people support their psychotherapy with other mind-body practices.
